Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the crowne of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim: for his glorious beautie shall be a fading flowre, which is vpon the head of the valley of them that be fat, and are ouercome with wine.
祸哉！以法莲的酒徒， 住在肥美谷的山上， 他们心里高傲， 以所夸的为冠冕， 犹如将残之花。
2 Beholde, the Lord hath a mightie and strong hoste, like a tempest of haile, and a whirlewinde that ouerthroweth, like a tempest of mightie waters that ouerflowe, which throwe to the ground mightily.
看哪，主有一大能大力者， 像一阵冰雹， 像毁灭的暴风， 像涨溢的大水， 他必用手将冠冕摔落于地。
3 They shall be troden vnder foote, euen the crowne and the pride of the drunkards of Ephraim.
以法莲高傲的酒徒， 他的冠冕必被踏在脚下。
4 For his glorious beautie shall be a fading floure, which is vpon the head of the valley of them that be fatte, and as the hastie fruite afore sommer, which when hee that looketh vpon it, seeth it, while it is in his hand, he eateth it.
那荣美将残之花， 就是在肥美谷山上的， 必像夏令以前初熟的无花果； 看见这果的就注意， 一到手中就吞吃了。
5 In that day shall the Lord of hostes be for a crowne of glory, and for a diademe of beautie vnto the residue of his people:
到那日，万军之耶和华 必作他余剩之民的荣冠华冕，
6 And for a spirite of iudgement to him that sitteth in iudgement, and for strength vnto them that turne away the battell to the gate.
也作了在位上行审判者公平之灵， 并城门口打退仇敌者的力量。
7 But they haue erred because of wine, and are out of the way by strong drinke: the priest and the prophet haue erred by strong drinke: they are swallowed vp with wine: they haue gone astraye through strong drinke: they faile in vision: they stumble in iudgement.
就是这地的人也因酒摇摇晃晃， 因浓酒东倒西歪。 祭司和先知因浓酒摇摇晃晃， 被酒所困， 因浓酒东倒西歪。 他们错解默示， 谬行审判。
8 For all their tables are full of filthy vomiting: no place is cleane.
因为各席上满了呕吐的污秽， 无一处干净。
9 Whome shall he teache knowledge? and whome shall he make to vnderstand the thinges that hee heareth? them that are weyned from the milke, and drawen from the breastes.
讥诮先知的说： 他要将知识指教谁呢？ 要使谁明白传言呢？ 是那刚断奶离怀的吗？
10 For precept must be vpon precept, precept vpon precept, line vnto line, line vnto line, there a litle, and there a litle.
他竟命上加命，令上加令， 律上加律，例上加例， 这里一点，那里一点。
11 For with a stammering tongue and with a strange language shall he speake vnto this people.
先知说：不然，主要借异邦人的嘴唇 和外邦人的舌头对这百姓说话。
12 Vnto whome hee saide, This is the rest: giue rest to him that is weary: and this is the refreshing, but they would not heare.
他曾对他们说： 你们要使疲乏人得安息， 这样才得安息，才得舒畅， 他们却不肯听。
13 Therefore shall the worde of the Lord be vnto them precept vpon precept, precept vpon precept, line vnto line, line vnto line, there a litle and there a litle, that they may goe, and fall backward, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
所以，耶和华向他们说的话是 命上加命，令上加令， 律上加律，例上加例， 这里一点，那里一点， 以致他们前行仰面跌倒， 而且跌碎，并陷入网罗被缠住。
14 Wherefore, heare the worde of the Lord, ye scornefull men that rule this people, which is at Ierusalem.
所以，你们这些亵慢的人， 就是辖管住在耶路撒冷这百姓的， 要听耶和华的话。
15 Because ye haue said, We haue made a couenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement: though a scourge runne ouer, and passe through, it shall not come at vs: for we haue made falshood our refuge, and vnder vanitie are we hid, (Sheol h7585)
你们曾说： 我们与死亡立约， 与阴间结盟； 敌军如水涨漫经过的时候， 必不临到我们； 因我们以谎言为避所， 在虚假以下藏身。 (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will laye in Zion a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation. Hee that beleeueth, shall not make haste.
所以，主耶和华如此说： 看哪，我在锡安放一块石头作为根基， 是试验过的石头， 是稳固根基，宝贵的房角石； 信靠的人必不着急。
17 Iudgement also will I laye to the rule, and righteousnesse to the balance, and the haile shall sweepe away the vaine confidence, and the waters shall ouerflowe the secret place.
我必以公平为准绳， 以公义为线铊。 冰雹必冲去谎言的避所； 大水必漫过藏身之处。
18 And your couenant with death shalbe disanulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand: when a scourge shall runne ouer and passe through, then shall ye be trode downe by it. (Sheol h7585)
你们与死亡所立的约必然废掉， 与阴间所结的盟必立不住。 敌军如水涨漫经过的时候， 你们必被他践踏； (Sheol h7585)
19 When it passeth ouer, it shall take you away: for it shall passe through euery morning in the day, and in the night, and there shalbe onely feare to make you to vnderstand the hearing.
每逢经过必将你们掳去。 因为每早晨他必经过， 白昼黑夜都必如此。 明白传言的必受惊恐。
20 For the bed is streight that it can not suffice, and the couering narowe that one can not wrappe himselfe.
原来，床榻短，使人不能舒身； 被窝窄，使人不能遮体。
21 For the Lord shall stand as in mount Perazim: hee shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his worke, his strage worke, and bring to passe his acte, his strange acte.
耶和华必兴起，像在毗拉心山； 他必发怒，像在基遍谷， 好做成他的工，就是非常的工； 成就他的事，就是奇异的事。
22 Nowe therefore be no mockers, least your bondes increase: for I haue heard of the Lord of hostes a consumption, euen determined vpon the whole earth.
现在你们不可亵慢， 恐怕捆你们的绑索更结实了； 因为我从主—万军之耶和华那里听见， 已经决定在全地上施行灭绝的事。
23 Hearken ye, and heare my voyce: hearken ye, and heare my speach.
你们当侧耳听我的声音， 留心听我的言语。
24 Doeth the plowe man plowe all the day, to sowe? doeth he open, and breake the clots of his ground?
那耕地为要撒种的， 岂是常常耕地呢？ 岂是常常开垦耙地呢？
25 When he hath made it plaine, wil he not then sowe the fitches, and sowe cummin, and cast in wheat by measure, and the appointed barly and rye in their place?
他拉平了地面， 岂不就撒种小茴香， 播种大茴香， 按行列种小麦， 在定处种大麦， 在田边种粗麦呢？
26 For his God doeth instruct him to haue discretion, and doeth teach him.
因为他的 神教导他务农相宜， 并且指教他。
27 For fitches shall not be threshed with a threshing instrument, neither shall a cart wheele be turned about vpon the cummin: but ye fitches are beaten out with a staffe, and cummin with a rod.
原来打小茴香，不用尖利的器具， 轧大茴香，也不用碌碡； 但用杖打小茴香， 用棍打大茴香。
28 Bread corne when it is threshed, hee doeth not alway thresh it, neither doeth the wheele of his cart still make a noyse, neither will he breake it with the teeth thereof.
做饼的粮食是用磨磨碎， 因它不必常打； 虽用碌碡和马打散， 却不磨它。
29 This also commeth from the Lord of hostes, which is wonderfull in counsell, and excellent in workes.
这也是出于万军之耶和华— 他的谋略奇妙； 他的智慧广大。
